An argument broke up quickly when one man exposed himself to another at an Alexandria hotel, according to police.

Officers with the Alexandria Police Department responded to the MacArthur Drive hotel around 8:45 a.m. Sunday because of a disturbance call. Witnesses said one man — 38-year-old Troy Lee Bynog — "had been acting strangely around the pool area," reads a release.

Bynog then exposed himself and began touching himself when another man approached him, it reads.

"He then ran inside the hotel to hide from the other male, at which point, hotel staff called police."

Bynog admitted to the officers that he'd exposed himself, it reads. Bynog, who gave a post office box in Lena as his address, was booked into the Rapides Parish Detention Center on a charge of obscenity.

He was released later Sunday on his own recognizance by 9th Judicial District Judge George Metoyer.
